How exciting is this. We are being linked with board members that sound pretty damn clued up. Weird feeling.

Tony Watola is also heavily involved with Thornbury FC, isn't without responsibilities outside of the club so will always have a role somewhere.

Not quite gone. Isn't he a life time member or something? I worry he might be in the background pushing his Errea agenda. Good news that they are looking to appoint an expert to look at the commercial management of the club though. 1. Bradshaw has not had the Errea franchise for 5-6 years- sold it years ago and its been owned by at least 2 different people since then 2. re TwatOla - I'm bloody sure the people who took my firm over didnt want to have to pay me double my salary to stay in a handover period but they did Reason, not only did I know where all the skeletons were- I had the keys to all the cupboards Like me I suspect you'll find by end of season there will be a statement to say TwatOla has left 'to spend more time with his family' in my case this came as a shock to me as I didnt have any kids! I dont know why there is an axe to grind with Errea? Its a good Italian sports wear company and its being used by bigger teams than us (Middlesbrough) and international teams (All Blacks Rugby) and they have even branched into Formula 1 with Manor Racing. If you go for an Addidas or Nike Brand, you have to pay them to supply your kit, albeit at a discounted rate. They wont make it for free. The only time you will get paid if you are a Premier League team.

Grimsby shirt is very common in football terms but who has a shirt like ours ?

Plus if you look here www.historicalkits.co.uk/Grimsby_Town/Grimsby_Town.htmTheir kit hardly changes they have the same sponsor the only real thing that changes is amount of stripes and that's hardly noticeable.... Although this season they have a weird black horizontal line We have a new sponsor every season though so it's probably harder to offload older kits? (Just a theory)

"Short lead in time" weren't we second for most of last season, it was hardly a surprise we finished up at Wembley?

When we were on the Retail panel,we were told we had Errea as kit makers because, they were smaller than Addias,etc,so the fact that our kit is not the "usual" design would mean it would be dearer and take longer to be delivered if produced by a bigger company. Well thats what Boycie told us!!

How sad a life do you have to have to worry about the kit manufacturer? There is no difference in quality because They are all made in the same Asian sweatshops. Gasheads are the exact antithesis of the kind of dumb sheep who can only define themselves by the labels they wear and will pay ridiculously over the odds to do it. Rant over...

Literally have no problem whatsoever with Errea. Think they've come in for some stick over the years due to stock issues and delays etc. but I would wager that some of those issues may have been caused by individuals closer to home... Also, surely the only kit manufacturer to see us win two promotions

I think some are still getting soddin carried away with the takeover and expect us to be playing in bloody Ralph Lauren shirts, have our catering provided by a Michelin Star Restaurant and have bleedin Limousines as our away transport!
